Charlotte Pipe 8136 Pvc Tee 3x3x2 Inch Socket Sch 40

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE 8136 is an injection-molded PVC tee fitting designed for the distribution of pressurized liquids in Schedule 40 piping systems. It features a 3 x 3 x 2 inch nominal configuration with socket end connections on all three ports, allowing solvent-welded joints to standard PVC pipe. Rated to 150 psi and 140 degrees F, this fitting handles typical residential and light commercial pressure-piping demands without issue. The white finish and domestic manufacture align with standard inspection and code requirements. Licensed plumbers and qualified pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This fitting is suited for pressurized liquid distribution lines in residential and commercial plumbing applications. The reducing branch outlet steps down from a 3-inch main run to a 2-inch branch, making it useful wherever a lateral takeoff of a smaller diameter is required within a Schedule 40 PVC system. It is not rated for drain, waste, or vent use under its stated pressure-service designation, and it is not suitable for compressed air, gas, or any application beyond pressurized liquid service.

Key Features

• 3 x 3 x 2 inch nominal reducing tee with socket end style on all three connections
• Schedule 40/STD pressure rating supports up to 150 psi service
• Temperature rated to 140 degrees F for standard cold and warm liquid lines
• Injection-molded PVC construction provides consistent wall thickness and solvent-weld compatibility

• White finish for easy identification in exposed or inspected installations

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new-install component for Schedule 40 PVC pressure piping systems handling pressurized liquid distribution only.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Depressurize and drain the line completely before cutting into an existing system. Use PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 40 PVC socket joints, and allow full cure time before restoring pressure. This fitting is rated for pressurized liquids only and must not be used in drain, waste, vent, gas, or compressed-air applications.
